On the Application of Case Teaching Method in Legal Education of Our Country′s Colleges and Universities

The disconnection between theory and practice generally exists in legal education of our country′s colleges and universities.The lack of case discussion,analysis and training in teaching results in students′ failure to apply their knowledge in practice.The precedent teaching method of common law system is not suitable for the legal education of our country′s colleges and universities.We should use the case teaching method as a helper method in theory teaching.Case teaching which includes selection of cases,careful preparation,class discussion and analysis,summary,assessment,should be divided into five steps in practice,and related conditions need to be established and perfected.
